This video, initially created as an introduction to William Walter's new book, Governmentality: Critical Encounters, calls into question how we are governed. Everything from simulation games to migration maps to drone politics encourage us to see our world and others in a particular way, for we are ultimately recruited to govern ourselves. But do we have power?
